MAZATLAN

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MAZATLAN , a city and port of the state of Sinaloa,
Mexico
 , 120 m. (direct) W.S.W. of the city of Durango, in lat. 23 12' N., long. 106 24' W. Pop. (1895), 15,852; (1900), 17,852. It is
the Pacific coast terminus of the International railway which' Charles, a
week
  later, passed Baturin by, all that remained of the Cossack
capital
  was a heap of smouldering mills and ruined houses. The total destruction of Baturin, almost in sight of the Swedes, overawed the bulk of the Cossacks into obedience, and Mazepa's ancient prestige was ruined in a day when the metropolitan of Kiev solemnly excommunicated him from the high altar, and his effigy, after being dragged with contumely through the mud at Kiev, was publicly burnt by the common hangman. Henceforth Mazepa, perforce, attached himself to Charles. What part he took at the battle of Poltava is not quite clear. After the catastrophe he accompanied Charles to Turkey with some 1500 horsemen (the miserable remnant of his 8o,000 warriors). The sultan refused to surrender him to the tsar, though Peter offered 300,000 ducats for his head. He died at Bender on the 22nd of August 1709.
See N. I. Kostomarov, Mazepa and the Mazepanites (Russ.) (St
Petersburg
 ), 1885; R. Nisbet Bain, The First Romanovs (London, 1905); S. M. Solovev, History of Russia (Russ.), vol. xv. (St Peters-burg, 1895). (R. N. B.)
crosses northern
Mexico
  from Ciudad Porfirio Diaz, and a port of call for the principal steamship lines on this coast. The harbour is spacious, but the entrance is obstructed by a bar. The city is built on a small peninsula. Its public buildings include a fine town-
hall
 , chamber of commerce, a custom-
house
  and two hospitals, besides which there is a nautical school and a meteorological station, one of the first established in Mexico. The harbour is provided with a sea-
wall
  at Olas Altas. A government wireless telegraph service is maintained between Mazatlan and La Paz, Lower California. Among the manufactures are saw-mills, foundries,
cotton
  factories and ropeworks, and the exports are chiefly hides, ixtle, dried and salted fish, gold, silver and copper (bars and ores), fruit, rubber, tortoise-shell, and, gums and resins.
